Extra Credit Assignment by Victor Rebollar and Paul Zamora

The plant tastes like a leaf that makes you gag.  No I would not eat this plant ever on a daily basis.  The plant is healthy for you and doesn't cause you to gain lots of pounds.  When we looked at the plant through the microscope on 40x we saw emerald shaped lines. When we looked through 100x we saw green dots.  When we looked through 400x we saw just green.

If our plant need one thing to survive on and it would be the weather. Without abiotic factors the plant would probably not have been able to survive this long. One biotic factor our plant needed to have to be able to survive was parasitism. Our plant is engaged in competition for sunlight. The winner grows more than the other plant that has not gotten as much sunlight. Sometimes it isn’t clear who won because sometimes they are equal in how much they hurt each other. This is second because the dirt in the garden was already provided from somewhere else.

   All of the roots in this plant connect to the water cycle because the plants draw water into their roots and some of the water nutrients get returned into the air by transpiration. A way to show how this relates to how our plant has been growing is that the plant needs water to survive and maybe some of that water may of helped the rain start a couple days ago. Plants are good at starting in the carbon cycle. Since plants use photosynthesis to take carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere. And the sun helps the plants because the plants create oxygen. Our plant's role has not really changed its growth. In the nitrogen cycle, plants use a process called Fixation which makes nitrogen usable to other plants. This has not really impacted the plants growth in any way at the moment.

Our plant depends on many different abiotic factors and I believe the most important one is weather. I  say this because plants need water and rain. to grow and live. If the plant does not get this abiotic factor it will not be able to grow or live. One biotic factor plants have to depend is parasitism. Our plant contributes in competition by competing against other plants for sunlight, water, and other different things. The winners are plants and the losers are also plants because they are competing against each other. It isn't always clear who the winners and losers are because sometimes they are equal in how much they hurt each other. Pollon distribution is another thing plants deal with. It benefits both plants and insects. This is secondary succession because in the garden, the dirt was already provided.

My team's plant's appearance has changed drastically. It has obtained more leaves and increased in size.Our plants participate in the water cycle by their roots in the soil drawing up water and nutrients. Our plant's role in this cycle has made it grow bigger since we got rain this week. In the carbon cycle, plants are vital to continue it. They use photosynthesis to draw out carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and combine it with water. Our plant's role has not really changed its growth. In the nitrogen cycle, plants use a process called Fixation which makes nitrogen usable to other plants. This has not impacted my plants' growth.

Out plant depends on many different abiotic factors and I believe the most important one is weather. I  say this because plants need water from the clouds to grow and live. If the plant does not get this abiotic factor it will not be able to grow or live. On biotic factor plants have to depend is insects to transport there pollen. Our plant contributes in competition by competing against changing weather patterns in that area. They compete by fighting against the parasites  in the ground for space they fight for health too from the parasites.. Depending the winner or loser in this situation is if the parasites stops the plants from growing by infecting it too much. I think that this is primeary succession because the dirt and grass from the ground is starting to spread all alround.
